Egg Hatching Shiny Glitch

Reject the first 42 eggs. That means say no to the man when he has an egg. Let him keep it 42 times.
Take the 43rd egg, and each egg afterwards and hatch them until you get a shiny Pokemon

You CANNOT:
Encounter wild Pokemon
Encounter Trainers who want to battle
Turn off your game (unless you saved before taking a shiny egg)
Use the HM FLY or anything to change your position.

You can, however, still run up and down between Route 209 and Route 210 through Solaceon Town.

And that's really all there is to it, which makes a veteran shiny hunter like myself, upset.

Even though you still had to work and get good at the PokeRadar, using this Egg chaining thing makes shiny Pokemon seem obsolete. You can get the Starters, Riolu, ANYTHING THAT CAN BREED shiny using this method.

Heartbreaking, especially since it took me a week of SRing to get my shiny Totodile. Today, it might not even take me 2 days.

The odds are assumed to be the same as having 40 Pokemon in the chain while using the PokeRadar: 1 in 200.

i think the vid said to reject the first 42 and then accept the 43rd and the rest of them and this is supposed to increase ur chances to 1/200 of getting a shiny. No where was it stated that the 43rd is shiny...and the guy said it took him 68 eggs after the 42 to hatch the munchlax...and u reject the egg by saying no to the old man twice
for the vulpix it only took 20 eggs to get a shiny after he rejected the first 42

Shinies were ruined anyway with the Pokeradar. Sure, it takes work to get the hang of chaining, but after that, it's so easy it's depressing.

I don't think I'll try. :/ I lost patience after declining like... 8 eggs. LOL. It'd be interesting to see if anyone posting here actually DOES get a shiny through this, though. Maybe after then I'll start trying again.
